Doug: In any event, Michael, since you won CY$500 from the Audience 
Match...

(ding)

Doug: ...we deposit a totally different CY$500 into the bank of Rodeo
Drive.  (light laughter from the crowd)  Now, it's time to pick a 
partner for the Head-To-Head Match.

 

Doug: And you could still win some serious virtual coin.  Find the
star with the 50 and you'll play for CY$25,000 -- and possibly 
take your winnings past CY$100,000.  You know four others have a
30 and the remaining four have a 20.  Who are you turning to
for the Head-To-Head?

Michael: I'll go with Dana

Doug: Dana, it's the last Super Match in our 10th anniversary
celebration.  I want it and Michael's reign to both go out in a 
blaze of glory.  What'cha got for us?
 

(ding) 

Doug: Twenty -- times 500 means you play for...

(ding)(audience applause)

Doug: ...CY$10,000.  It's déjà vu all over again.  Dana and 
Michael played the previous Head-To-Head and it was worth 
CY$10,000 then.  You hit pay dirt then.  Let's see if you can 
hit pay dirt with this...

______CAR

 

Doug: << BLANK >> Car.  That's C-A-R.  << BLANK >> Car.  

(MG '76 Super Match think music plays)

(ding)

Doug: OK, Dana's answer's in the slot.  Now I need to know
the answer that's in your mind.  For CY$10,000, << BLANK >> 
Car.

Michael: Aw man!  Why can't it be << BLANK >> Manas?  
(audience laughs)  Anyway, I'll go with BUMPER car.
  
(audience applause)

Doug: Bumper Car.  Sorta harkens back to a show I did
ten years ago, when you think about it.  But whatever.

If

Dana

Epstein

also

said

"Bumper

Car",

Michael

Clifford

will

leave

here

with

another

ten-

thousand

cyber-

dollars.

Dana,

what

do

you

have

for

us?


Dana: This is a tough one.  My first ideas were "funny car" and 
"pace car" but I thought this is one time that first impressions 
aren't the way to go.  I'm went with a phrase I've seen and heard
Doug use for years.  I've got...

+--------+
|  a new |
+--------+

Dana: ...a new car.

(buzz; audience groans; TPiR losing horns)

 

Doug: Well, good answers all around.  Just didn't end up with
a match.  

Michael, despite this setback, you're headed to the tournament 
with a lot of reasons to be happy.  And they add up to.

 
(audience cheers)

Doug: ...CY$77,500.

Hey, got something special for everyone -- but let's find out 
where the 50 was first?  Gently remove your tabs, everyone.

 

 

(ding)

Doug: Andrea had the big five-oh.  All right.  One more time,
a nice hand for our retiring champ, Michael Clifford.

(audience cheers)  (MG-HSH theme plays)

Doug: Back with that something special -- after this.

Voice guy: Net Poker.  The Big Risk.  Two high stakes games of chance
-- where the stakes just got higher.  One number or one card could
make the difference -- in a huge payoff of at least CY$1,000,000.
